Repetition is needed for a dog to understand what is expected from his / her behavior. Dogs rely on structure and consistency for learning. Repeat your exercises and it will pay off.
Respect will follow when you invest the time with your dog in training. You are becoming the leader and its instinct for them to follow the leader of the pack. If there is no leader, they will try to become the leader which may cause many behavioral problems. It is part of their nature to have a leader.
Relationship is developed from your leadership and commitment to guide them in the right direction. It is a great feeling to have a dog want to do things for you … because of the relationship and not have to be forced to obey.
Learn what motivates your dog to work. Does he / she have a favorite treat or toy to start off training. Eventually that will be weaned off, but it is a hugh motivator in the beginning of training.
Of course exercise is a must for all dogs. They really need both mental and physical exercise to keep balanced and out of trouble. A tired dog is a good dog!
Training should be fun and a great bonding experience for you both!
Training is a life long process if you want success. Always feel free to call if you have any questions.
